tools for any application

Sherlock is advanced machine vision software that can be easily configured to solve a wide variety of automated inspection applications. This Windows-based graphical design environment provides a rich suite of proven tools and capabilities that have been deployed in thousands of installations worldwide. Recognized throughout the machine vision industry, Sherlock offers you the power and flexibility to solve your vision applications while providing the assurance that comes with popular product.

This automated quality assurance tool allows you to identify and correct problems before your customers find them. It will help you improve customer satisfaction, increase productivity and reduce production costs all at the same time. In addition, if your inspection needs should change, your machine vision tool can stay the same, thus protecting your technology investment.

Region Of Interest (ROI) Shapes: Flexible Area and Line ROI selection: Rectangular, Annulus, Polygon, Torus, Circle, Point, Line, Polyline, Arc, Rake, Spoke, Rainbow, Bulls-eye Preprocessors: Extensive set of functions that can be applied to a ROI prior to analysis. Preprocessors condition the image for optimal performance of analysis tools. Positioning Tools: Advanced pattern finding tools are used for object alignment and robot guidance. They are tolerant of lighting variation and changes in part position, rotation and scale.

Solution Management and Controls Open and save solutions, start and stop inspection. Includes single-step and slow-step debug operations.

Program Instruction Toolbar Provides quick access to commonly used instructions. These include acquisition, subroutine creation, program steering, conditional statements and scripting.

Image Window Controls Load, acquire, save and zoom images. Select Region-Of-Interest shapes and apply image preprocessors and algorithms.

Image Window Displays image during setup and live image at runtime. Images are acquired from cameras, files or sequence of files.

supports custom operator interfaces

Program The program window displays the sequence of instructions or actions that comprise an inspection. Program snippets can be copied and paste back into the program or a subroutine.

Feedback Windows Viewing windows provide immediate status of program events. They provide feedback of instruction timing, algorithm results, variables, hardware I/O, result reporting and more.

Measurement Tools: Precise measurement tools can compute dimensions of a variety of parts and shapes. Calibration tools correct for camera distortion and convert measurement units to real world coordinates. Analysis Tools: Extensive analysis tools for finding and counting edges, extracting and analyzing blobs, detecting contrast variation and performing statistical analysis. Color Tools: Learn colors for monitoring, classifying, sorting, tracking, and counting objects. Reader Tools: Reads and verifies 1D barcodes. Reads, verifies and grades 2D matrix symbologies. Reads and identifies printed, molded or stamped text (OCR). Script Tools: Using our JavaScript based scripting tool, complete with drag and drop instruction editing, you can develop custom formulas or inline and background operations within the application. Custom Algorithms: Unique inspection needs may require a custom tool. Sherlock accommodates this by allowing custom plug-ins.

flexible interface Workspace: Supports dockable and resizeable windows with customizable toolbars Editing: Drag-and-drop, copy-and-paste, enhanced tool tips and status bars, context menus, performance monitoring Input/Output: Serial, digital, analog, file I/O, SPC, 3rd party Communication: TCP/IP, Ethernet/IP, Modbus, OPC Operator: Fully supported by Visual Basic for development of custom operator screens
